“…Lynch (1995) defined a digital library as an “electronic information access system that offers the user a coherent view of an organized, selected, and managed body of information.” A digital library has powerful and efficient functionalities for content management (acquisition, storage, indexing, access, and maintenance), considerable metadata for content enrichment and structuring, as well as services for effective content searches, access, annotation, filtering, and dissemination (Fuchs et al , 2004). Because of the richness of structured digital collections, the use of digital repositories for educational purposes has garnered the attention of researchers in the fields of computer science, library science and education (Saeed, 2006; Chu et al 2008; Marchionini and Maurer, 1995; Marshall et al , 2006).…”

PurposeThis paper seeks to assess the differences between learning performance and the satisfaction of learners who use digital resources in the Taiwan Libraries' History Digital Library (organized digital resources) and the Google search engine (unorganized digital resources) in problem‐solving learning for the same subject via the problem‐based learning (PBL) mode. The paper aims to explore the advantages and characteristics of using digital archives to support PBL and to offer suggestions that are helpful when using digital archives to support e‐learning.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopted the quasi‐experimental design method to assign all participants into an experimental group and control group to evaluate differences in learning performance and the satisfaction of learners who use different digital resources during PBL processes. A statistical analysis scheme was employed to evaluate the learning performance of learners during PBL supported by different digital resources in terms of learning processes, PBL outcomes, and a questionnaire.FindingsThe study obtained the following conclusions: learning performance and the satisfaction of learners in the experimental group during PBL processes supported by digital archival resources were superior to those of control‐group learners who were supported by search engine resources; compared with search engine resources, the digital archival resources provide benefits in the learning phase, such as “action” (i.e. doing), in the proposed PBL mode, which has three learning phases; and compared with resources accessed through the Google search engine, PBL supported by digital archival resources should enhance searching performance and thereby increase learner willingness to use digital archives during e‐learning.Practical implicationsUsing digital archives to support e‐learning is a new trend in the library sciences field; however, few studies have developed useful learning modes for effective e‐learning supported by digital archives. Evidential research related to e‐learning supported by digital archives is also lacking; most studies used digital archives as digital course materials, thus ignoring the principal property of digital archives – excellent resource organization.Originality/valueThe paper shows that by integrating the PBL mode with digital archives one can identify the advantages of digital archives in supporting e‐learning, resulting in innovative and valuable research.

“…Furthermore, Fuchs, Muscogiuri, Niederée, and Hemmje (2004) have suggested that digital archives can support digital learning since they collect and preserve information about human civilization over time, which provides teachers and students with valuable content to share and discuss together. In fact, many European countries have made great efforts to digitize their culture and history.…”

With the advances in mobile network technology, the use of portable devices and mobile networks for learning is not limited by time and space. Such use, in combination with appropriate learning strategies, can achieve a better effect. Despite the effectiveness of mobile learning, students' learning direction, progress, and achievement may differ. Thus, the enhancement of learners' opinions on the usability and interactivity during mobile learning are challenging issues to overcome. This study developed a sharing mind map-oriented mobile learning system integrated with valuable information preserved in a digital archiving system. In addition to the functions of traditional mind maps, this system also enabled students to complete and record relevant information that they had found onto the mind map and further improve the integrity of their own knowledge. To investigate the effectiveness of this teaching approach, this study added digital archive data and used mind map sharing to help learners develop knowledge. By using the proposed approach, students were able to perform self-assessment on learning content, choose appropriate learning directions, and progress according to their level of learning. At the same time, they could collaboratively learn with peers to engage themselves more deeply in their learning. That is, their learning motivation could be constantly triggered through the observations and sharing of mind maps from one to another. This study selected sixth graders as its research subjects in two classes at the school where one researcher works. There were 31 and 30 valid samples in the experimental group and control group, respectively, with a total of 61 students. The experimental group was conducted by using sharing mind map with corresponding geographical archived information to investigate the effectiveness of sharing mind map (SMM) in mobile learning; on the other hand, the control group was conducted by using a traditional learning approach. The outcomes indicate that students' learning performance could be enhanced by using archived information SMM mobile learning.Keywords: sharing mind map, collaborative mobile learning, digital archive, peer learning A Sharing Mind Map-oriented Approach to Enhance Collaborative Mobile Learning With Digital Archiving SystemsChang, Chiu, and Huang 2 Study BackgroundIn recent years, due to the process and enhancement of knowledge and science, e-learning management systems have increased rapidly. Many studies have pointed out that these techniques could optimize learning processes and effectiveness. Many scholars have utilized network technology for learning and statistical analysis, confirming the enhancement of the efficiency of learning by network technology. The development of mobile devices (e.g., smart phones, laptops, tablets, and so on) with wireless communication technology has changed the centuries-old rules for classroom instruction, resulting in breakthroughs in teaching methods (Biddix, Chung, & Park, 2016). Due to the portable properties of ...
